However, USB Type-C cables and chargers will receive new power rating logos.
However, the USB Implementers Forum announced new certified USB Type-C cable power rating logos to clearly indicate the power capabilities of USB-C cables to consumers.

In line with the new specifications, USB Type-C cables now feature special logos highlighting support for 60W or 20W of power.
Finally for the uninitiated, the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) is the support organization for the advancement and adoption of USB technology.

Additionally, the USB4 cables will also feature a new logo that shows not only the new 20Gbps or 40Gbps data transfer speed, but also the charging speed (via: Business Wire).
These new certified logos will be present on product packaging, in the briefing, on the device, on the charger and on the cable itself. USB-IF will remind consumers to only purchase these certified products from trusted sources to ensure interoperability and backwards compatibility.
USB Type-C cables and chargers will receive new power rating logos
“With the new higher power capabilities enabled by the USB PD 3.1 specification, which unlocks up to 240W via a USB Type-C cable and connector, USB-IF saw an opportunity to further strengthen and simplify its certified logo program for the end user,” said Jeff Ravencraft, President and COO of USB-IF.
With our updated logos, consumers can easily identify the USB4 performance and USB power delivery capabilities of certified USB-C cables.
They support an ever-expanding ecosystem of consumer electronics from laptops and smartphones to monitors and chargers, he added.
However, USB-IF doesn't appear to have done anything to stop anyone from using replicated logos on products that don't meet quality standards (via: GSMArena ). Indeed, there is a lot of room for misuse.
A better implementation would have been something similar to the HDMI LA solution in that not only logos but also a holographic image and a QR code are required to confirm authenticity.
Finally in this case, a user can very conveniently scan the QR code on the packaging to confirm authenticity.
